What's a company that you think sh!t the bed discontinuing certain products?

[KnappShack]

I don't know why the changed things so much. We got it the other night and ordered Pan crust and the difference between what we got and what they USED to make years ago is staggering. The pan crust these days is...not even that thick and/or buttery.

I finally talked her into getting a personal pan pizza. It SUCKED. Embarrassing how bad it was.

Lotzza Motzza is definitely still around.

But not the best one Lotzza Hotzza, I contacted them and confirmed it had been discontinued.

Alka Seltzer Cold medicine with analgesic was hands down the best hangover cure ever in the late 1980’s, then they changed one of the active ingredients. I don’t remember the specifics but miss the effective plop plop fizz fizz and near immediate relief it provided.

The curly fries were outstanding. Doesn't seem that long ago that I had them, didn't even realize they were gone.

Hardee's still has the best breakfast menu of the fast food chains.

Hardees Frisco breakfast sandwich was the absolute bomb! So mad they got rid of it.

And they had a fantastic chicken breast sandwich back like 25 years ago.

I swear I saw that one fairly recently.

Man, Cyclone Fanatic is really showing its age in this thread.

Maybe they bought it back but I haven’t seen any in at least a year.

Fareway used to make and sell their own CHORIZO at the meat counter. It was delicious. Gone too soon.

McDonald’s cookies

Oooh....great one. I remember that display in the lobby...but always seemed to only get the Chocoloate Chippy box.

I think the healthcare (aka sickcare) business sh*t the bed by not pushing, and even discouraging, use of CT scans to produce CACS - coronary artery calcium score. Fast, simple, cheap, reliable way to find out if you have coronary artery disease, and how acute a case. The scan measures/detects calcified arterial plaques, and radiologist turns that into a numeric score. The more calcium in your arteries/walls, the higher the score. Zero score is what you want.

I mentioned it to a friend who'd been having some issues, he got the test, 1200s score, went right in for bypass - may have saved his life. His doc didn't recommend the CACS, I did. Treadmill stress tests, echos - meh. Cut out the guesswork and get a scan and CACS score. Pay cash if your doc won't write it up. Same radiation as a mammogram.

I was having what I thought was chest pain a while back, dr couldn’t find anything on standard tests, suggested I do this, I asked how much it would cost because he said it wasn’t covered by my insurance. 100$. After all the tests they ran I was like why wasn’t this the first option. My score came back as zero and that’s when they finally asked me if I had bad heart burn and turns out pain in your esophagus from acid reflux can feel like heart pain.

Casey's slushes.

I wouldn't have one now but I swear they started going down hill when they stopped making them.

There are some beers I thought of

Beach Bum Blonde Ale | Anheuser-Busch | BeerAdvocate

Michelob Winter's Bourbon Cask Ale | Anheuser-Busch | BeerAdvocate

Fields of Dream | Barn Town Brewing | BeerAdvocate

Speaking of beer, I miss Batch 19 beer. A few years ago I toured Coors and asked about it and the tour guide said a lot of people asked about that beer and liked it. They weren't sure why it got discontinued.

Not Caseys but still applies.

I thought I was the only one that has found their crust to be **** the past decade. Since I can't have cheese, the crust is a pretty important aspect of pizza for me and both PH and Casey's have gotten to the point where you don't know if they're not cooking it long enough, the dough isn't rising, or something else because it's always ****.

I always thought Coors needed to make it much more apparent that Batch 19 was a Coors product. They tried to stealthily get regular craft beer drinkers to buy it but it was never going to catch on with the folks who regularly drink IPAs and sours. If it was clearly marketed as a pre-prohibition version of Coors I think it would have done much better.

You can still get it frozen. They usually have it in the back in the freezer.

Was thinking I bought some not that long ago. Maybe it was that long ago.
